By preparing the tax returns of about 250 grain and livestock farmers, our partners are familiar with the unusual bookkeeping and tax issues they face. Each year, we attend a two-day income tax school sponsored by either the University of Illinois or Purdue University extension services, which emphasizes agricultural tax issues.

Keeping the family farm in the family is almost as much of a challenge as farming itself. We're experienced in the estate planning techniques that work for farmers, such as using Family Limited Partnerships, Section 2032A (special use valuation) and Family Trusts.

To learn how we can help you pass the family farm to the next generation, contact one of our estate planning partners - see Estate Planning & Taxation.

Audits of grain elevators amount to more than just counting beans! In a highly regulated industry, grain dealers need an auditor that understands the unique accounting concepts of the grain industry -- grain flow, ownership, liability, quality, shrinking, pricing contracts, delivery contracts, grain position in the market, and the like. We have that expertise.

Larsson, Woodyard, and Henson currently performs audits for grain dealers. To learn more about our audit services for grain dealers, contact one of our partners.
